Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Oven
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and flour. Dredge the marinated chicken breasts in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey glaze by mixing honey and hot sauce in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is baked, drizzle the hot honey glaze over the top and serve immediately.
